About

You can watch Hot Rod (2007) for free on Kanopy, rent on Apple TV+, or buy on Apple TV+.

For Rod Kimble, performing stunts is a way of life, even though he is rather accident-prone. Poor Rod cannot even get any respect from his stepfather, Frank, who beats him up in weekly sparring matches. When Frank falls ill, Rod devises his most outrageous stunt yet to raise money for Frank's operation -- and then Rod will kick Frank's butt.

A clumsy stuntman attempts increasingly absurd physical feats to fund his stepfather's medical bills. This absurdly silly comedy relies on pure, unhinged energy and improvised nonsense rather than a polished script.
